Our Assistance & Nurse Call
CDS Security & Fire designs, installs and maintains nurse call systems and assistance alarm systems for healthcare, care, commercial and public sector organisations across the North East.
Our systems allow patients, residents, staff and members of the public to quickly request help when they need it. Solutions range from simple pull cord alarms and call buttons to sophisticated addressable nurse call systems with monitoring, speech and reporting capabilities.
Nurse Call Systems for Healthcare and Care Settings
Reliable nurse call systems provide patients and residents with a simple way to request assistance from nurses, carers or other designated members of staff.
CDS Security & Fire can design systems around the individual requirements of hospitals, GP surgeries, nursing homes, residential care homes, assisted living environments and other healthcare settings.
Systems can range from individual call points reporting to a central panel through to multi-ward addressable systems with speech, monitoring and reporting software.
Depending on the requirements of the building, nurse call technology can provide:
- Patient and resident call buttons
- Pull cord assistance alarms
- Portable call devices
- Central monitoring panels
- Addressable room and bed identification
- Speech communication
- System monitoring and reporting
- Integration with wider assistance systems
Our team can provide support throughout the life of the system, from initial design and installation to commissioning, servicing and ongoing maintenance.
Staff Attack and Personal Safety Systems
Staff attack systems allow employees to quickly summon assistance when faced with a threatening situation or emergency.
These systems can be particularly useful in healthcare, education, public-facing workplaces, reception areas and other environments where employees may work alone or face an increased risk of aggressive behaviour.
Solutions can include fixed call buttons and portable devices, allowing an alert to be raised and directed to the appropriate colleagues or responsible personnel.
CDS Security & Fire can assess the layout and risks within your premises before recommending an appropriate staff safety system.
Disabled WC Alarm Systems
A disabled WC alarm system, also known as an accessible toilet alarm or emergency assistance alarm, gives someone using an accessible toilet a simple way to call for help.
Systems typically use an accessible pull cord connected to audible and visual indicators so that an emergency call can be recognised and responded to.
CDS Security & Fire designs and installs disabled WC assistance alarms with consideration for current accessibility guidance, including BS 8300-2:2018, which covers the design of accessible and inclusive buildings.
Disabled toilet alarm systems may be suitable for:
- Offices and workplaces
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Care homes
- Schools and colleges
- Leisure centres and swimming pools
- Hotels
- Retail premises
- Public buildings
Assistance Call Systems Designed Around Your Building
Every building has different users, risks and operational requirements.
CDS Security & Fire can provide anything from a simple one or two-button assistance call system connected to a reception panel to a complex multi-zone addressable system serving multiple wards, rooms or buildings.
Our engineers can design, install, commission, service and maintain nurse call and assistance alarm systems, helping organisations keep their equipment reliable and suitable for the people who depend on it.
